Recovery varies by patient and procedure extent. Most patients experience swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks, with light activities resuming shortly after. Full healing and final results generally start to appear within 4–6 weeks and continue to improve thereafter. Our team provides personalized post-operative care instructions to ensure safe, smooth recovery.

A neck lift can be performed with or without neck liposuction, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Neck liposuction targets excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline, helping to define the neck and create a smoother, more contoured profile.
When combined with a neck lift, liposuction enhances the overall results by tightening the skin, repositioning underlying muscles, and reducing fullness in the neck area. This combination is especially effective for patients experiencing both sagging skin and localized fat, providing a refined, natural-looking neck and jawline.
At Ottawa Derm & Surgery Centre, every neck lift procedure is personalized. Our surgeons evaluate your anatomy, degree of aging, and desired outcome to create a plan that delivers harmonious and long-lasting results.
